Use within Shiny

library(shiny)
library(googleAuthR)
library(googleID)

# set scopes
gar_set_client(scopes = c("https://www.googleapis.com/auth/userinfo.email",
                                       "https://www.googleapis.com/auth/userinfo.profile"))

## set your web app client ID/secret and scopes
options(googleAuthR.webapp.client_id = getOption("googleAuthR.client_id"),
        googleAuthR.webapp.client_secret = getOption("googleAuthR.client_secret"))

ui <- shinyUI(fluidPage(
  
  googleAuthUI("example1"),
  p("Logged in as: ", textOutput("user_name"))
  
))


server <- shinyServer(function(input, output, session) {
  
  access_token <- callModule(googleAuth, "example1")
  
  ## to use in a shiny app:
  user_details <- reactive({
    validate(
      need(access_token(), "Authenticate")
    )
    
    with_shiny(get_user_info, shiny_access_token = access_token())
    
  })
  
  output$user_name <- renderText({
    validate(
      need(user_details(), "getting user details")
    )
    
    user_details()$displayName
    
  })
  
  
})

# Run the application 
shinyApp(ui = ui, server = server)

Shiny/RMarkdown via JavaScript auth plugin

Alternatively, you can also login via javascript in RMarkdown documents, but this requires the dev version of googleAuthR.
A demo and how to of this is available in this RMarkdown document: https://mark.shinyapps.io/googleAuthRMarkdown/

Whitelist

The function whitelist() can be used to return TRUE or FALSE is the user is on a supplied list.

You can supply the whitelist as a character vector, which could be imported from a file or similar.

To use, pass the user object to the function with the whitelist like this:

library(googleAuthR)
library(googleID)

## set your client ID/secret and scopes
gar_set_client("location_of_client.json",
               scopes = c("https://www.googleapis.com/auth/userinfo.email",
                          "https://www.googleapis.com/auth/userinfo.profile"))

gar_auth()

## default is user logged in
user <- get_user_info()

the_list <- whitelist(user, c("[email protected]", "[email protected]", "[email protected]"))

if(the_list){
  message("You are on the list.")
} else {
  message("If you're not on the list, you're not getting in.")
}
